Your best recourse is to enlist the help of your Local Bowling Association, the National Offices of the USBC, ABC, WIBC, or YABA, or Better Business Bureau. However, the official ABC/WIBC/YABA rulebook can become your ally. Become familiar with the playing rules of your sanctioning body and the tournament.
How can I ask a question about tournament rules?
Bowling Headquarters has requested that we refer bowlers inquiring about rules to their local governing bowling associations for an official ruling on or explanation of any of ABC, WIBC, or YABA rules. We have agreed to honor this request, therefore, we cannot reply to any rules questions.
Your bowling center, league secretary, or tournament director should be able to provide you with the contact information for your local governing bowling association if you are unable to locate them in the white or yellow pages.
If you are still unable to contact your local association or if you should need further clarification you can e-mail Bowling Headquarters' Rules Staff at: rulesstaff@bowl.com.
You can also take advantage of BowlingCommunity.com'sTournaments Forum which is provided for the discussion of tournament issues and rules. The community is filled with bowlers who thrive on helping each other out 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
